Pros

I worked in multiple positions within Umpqua bank, I started at the CRC and I moved to an in bank position, the CRC was great, everyone was very smart and professional and tried their best. It could be harsh in how calls are graded, but it wasn't too bad.

Cons

The disconnectedness between different banks, and the CRC makes things very difficult. When every bank location is doing things differently it is hard to coordinate between them.

Pros

Columbia Banking System has been a great place to work for thus far. The environment is enjoyable and the company itself is virtuous.

Cons

There is quite a bit of downtime in-between customers, but this is also a pro because it means there is ample opportunity to get more customers through the door and banking with us.

Pros

Great People, generous Vacation and Sick time, and decent facilities.

Cons

Poor communication from leadership. Typical "Good ol' Boys Club" type politics, and too many convoluted policies and procedures to keep up. Hard workers are awarded with more work, while others are allowed to skate by under the radar.
